Health workers, represented by the Health Union Caucus, have announced a nationwide strike set to begin at midnight on Monday, July 20, 2026. The strike is a result of the Council of Governors (CoG) allegedly failing to address critical issues concerning workers' welfare, job security, and terms of employment.

• The unions are demanding the immediate confirmation of thousands of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and Global Fund staff to permanent and pensionable terms.
• Key organizations involved include the Health Union Caucus, alongside several health sector unions like the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO).
• The unions cite the CoG's persistent failure to acknowledge or act on demands submitted on June 15, 2026, as a violation of labor laws.
